Tia and her team were absolutely amazing from booking, to my trial, all the way to the morning of my October wedding! They were all professional and so much fun - we were even well...
ahead of schedule and we had quite a large group. They really know what they’re doing. We also has A LOT of different hair types - from pin straight to tight curls - my girls and I felt beautiful with our hair and makeup done. I just loved working with them and couldn’t recommend enough!

all up the entire way. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup vision! Working with Tia was seamless and she offers a great package for a great price! She is so responsive and quick too! I would recommend her to any bride wanting to look themselves their wedding day, but elevated. She kept my look so dreamy, natural, whimsical and glowy, which is exactly what I was hoping for!
This review is beyond overdue but I hired Meraki Beauty to do my hair and makeup for my November 2020 wedding. I LOVED working with the crew that I did – Tia for makeup and Erica f...
or hair. First of all, the salon is lovely - it's such a vibe. Second of all, Tia and Erica are just so talented. They really are excellent at what they do. I was so happy after my hair and makeup trial because I knew I was in great hands and going to look bomb at my wedding. I also really just liked talking to them at the trial and the morning of my wedding! It made it more fun for me. And as expected, I really did feel beautiful at my wedding! I honestly wish I lived closer to Allentown; I’d really like to return to Meraki for any service, I know it would be superb.
If you want to feel your absolute best on your wedding day you will not be disappointed with Tia and the Meraki Beauty team. I originally reached out to the team in regards to any...
prep I could do for the trail and big day and the referred me to an amazing team at Meesha Aesthetics. I got services prior to my trail and Tia was able give additional insight for what would be best to get my skin in tip top shape for the wedding. The trial look was amazing but after getting my skin tuned up it all sat flawlessly on wedding day. I was open to whatever she thought would be best for my skin tone and what I typically wear to make sure I looked like me while being glammed up and Tia knew exactly what to do. Erika tackled my FULL head of hair and was able to give additional insight to how my hair would hold best. They were so fun to get to know at the trail and still super fun and enjoyable on the day off but down to business to get myself 6 bridesmaids, 2 moms and 3 flower girls ready with time to spare! They give you the flexibility to work with your group timing wise and have great communication throughout the process. My mom even had some questions with her hair as she was in between keratin treatments and wanted to make sure she was going to like the style and that it would last and the team took the time to explain and understand her concerns. We were all so happy with every style and make up look 10/10 would book again!
Tia & Erica were the absolute BEST! It felt like we had known them forever & they were just a part of the bridal party getting ready with us. Tia did my bridal makeup & Erica d...

ccommodating to our group. We ended up getting ready at her salon (which is beautiful) and it was a nice and relaxing morning and it felt like we were hanging out with friends with her team. Everyone’s hair and make up look absolutely stunning and stayed all night long! I’m so happy we chose Meraki and thrilled with our experience!

the salon. The day of my hair turned out just as I had imagined and was so thankful for Lauren’s recommendation! My mom, MIL, and bridesmaids all felt gorgeous thanks to the ladies of Meraki. I started going to the salon regularly because I was so happy with their help and support during the wedding planning process and will continue to be a client for life! I would recommend them to any bride or woman in the Lehigh Valley🖤
Tia & her team are BEYOND our expectations. I was in need of a make-up artist very close to my date & Tia was so kind to rearrange her entire teams schedules so that Candice could ...
be available for our big day. Candice was so thoughtful and kind with me & my family we knew from the trial we were in great hands! She gave me the Dewey & glowing look that I had dreamed of & oh did I mention is an expert all things brows! Her kind spirit was present throughout the morning and she was so gentle with my entire family. What I really appreciated was her ability to bring out your best natural features, she doesn’t make you something you are not and because of that everyone felt not only beautiful but confident as well which means the world to me. I cannot speak highly of this team & the magic they create, thank you a million times over!!

My husband and I decided to get married in 4 short months. I knew instantly that I wanted Tia at Meraki to do my wedding day makeup. I reached out to her and she was available for ...
Nov. 1, 2020. We did my trial at Meraki a few weeks before the wedding and she made me feel like a bride. Leaving that appointment I was so excited for our wedding day. On that Sunday, my 3 MOH and myself got our makeup done by Tia. She was professional and made everyone feel beautiful. I will forever be grateful for the time she took to make sure I loved everything before walking out the door!
AMAZING!! I wish I lived closer or I would always go to Meraki! Tia & her team did a great job at capturing what I envisioned for our hair and makeup for my wedding! Not only are t...
hey great at what they do, but are easy going and great to get along with. With COVID-19 getting in the way of wedding planning, Tia was understanding when it came to changes and I appreciated that! If you pick Meraki you won’t be disappointed :)
I highly recommend Tia and Erica for hair and makeup services. We all looked gorgeous! Tia gave us natural looks while still playing up our best features. Erica styled our hair in ...
fabulous updo’s that held up all day and night. These ladies were so much fun! We enjoyed laughing, talking, and jamming out with them while we were getting ready. Tia’s energy is contagious – she’s a true joy to be around!
Due to distance, COVID, and scheduling, I opted not to go for a hair and makeup trial. I knew we would be in great hands after chatting with Tia and browsing through photos on their website and Instagram. These ladies are professional, talented and make you feel so comfortable and beautiful. If I lived in the Lehigh Valley, Meraki Beauty would be my salon!

I've never gone to a salon that's so professional, yet fun, accommodating, and talented. Tia did all of the makeup for my wedding and it was flawless. She also responded to nearly ...
every question within the day of asking it, which was unheard of when planning the wedding. Erica and Kate did our hair and it was exactly what we wanted and some. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair color, especially from people I would never except to notice hair. My maid of honor requested the same style that I had at a previous wedding and there was no comparison. My maid of honor looked incredible! I also went to Jessi a week before the wedding to get my brows done and I won't let anyone else touch them. They are all exceptionally talented and creative. I'm clueless when it comes to hair and makeup, so I really enjoyed giving them a few ideas of what I was looking for and letting them run with it. You can't go wrong with these ladies

ok and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. My hair and make up was FLAWLESS. People are still complimenting me on how I looked at my wedding! They were so easy to work with every step of the way. They were so friendly and professional and fun, it felt like I had two friends doing my hair and makeup for my wedding. I would recommend Meraki to anyone who wants to feel and look absolutely gorgeous on their big day.
Tia and her team are beyond amazing. From makeup, to hair, to pre-wedding prep (i.e.-facials, dermaplaning), I knew that no matter who was taking care of me at Meraki, I was always...
in good hands. It is obvious that Tia takes a lot of pride in her work and makes it her mission to have every bride feeling her absolute best on their wedding day. Tia listened to exactly what I wanted for my special day and made it happen without question. My bridesmaids and myself absolutely adored not only her amazing talent, but also her infectious smile and positive vibes. Tia's team brings all the fire, I was 100% confident that my bridesmaids were in wonderful hands. I would recommend Tia and her team to anyone and everyone, there is nothing that Meraki Beauty cannot do. They left me absolutely speechless and feeling like a million bucks!

Tia and Erica were amazing and I could not have asked for more beautiful hair and makeup on my big day. Not only are they friendly, funny, and a blast to hang with on the morning o...
f your wedding, they are skilled artists and bring out the best in your features. I had my hair and makeup trial done for engagement photos in April of 2018. By the summer of 2019, I wanted a different hairstyle - no problem. I did a second trial with Erica and she understood what I was looking for immediately. My wedding was small and my wedding party was just my mom and I, which was not a problem for Tia. She made us both look beautiful and I would hire them again for any special occasion!
Look no further - Meraki Beauty is amazing! I hired Meraki for hair and makeup for my wedding and have been using them since I found them. Tia is an amazing makeup artist and busin...
ess owner! She has a beautiful salon and it is evident that this is her passion. Tia was very responsive and helpful during the planning process. She did my makeup trial, makeup for our engagement photos and again on my wedding day. My makeup looked incredible every time and lasted all night long and so did my bridesmaids! By the end of the night, it looked just like it did when she first put it on.
Erica and Megan were our hair stylists for the day. Erica has also been cutting and highlighting my hair since I found Meraki! On the day of the wedding, they both did a wonderful job working with everyone’s hair. Our hair also lasted all night, even after dancing through the reception! They were all very friendly and did amazing work! My bridesmaids and my mom had nothing but good things to say about each one!
All of the girls looked absolutely stunning! I am so glad I found them! I highly recommend using Meraki Beauty for any of your beauty needs!
Tia and everyone at Meraki are seriously AMAZING!! Super accommodating since our wedding was in Lancaster, it was a bit of a hike for them but I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to...
do our makeup! Even when I went for my trial, it was so much fun and Tia made me look incredible! LOVE MERAKI SO MUCH!! Highly recommend!
Meraki is an absolutely amazing salon! Though I did not get my hair done for my wedding in 2016 here (discovered this salon just a few months ago by following their awesome Instagr...
am page)...I do now get my color and handtied extensions done at Meraki!
Jordan is an amazing hair colorist and stylist; not to mention she is THE master of extensions (is the only person to do the handtied extension method in the area)!
She has even attended classes held by celebrity hair stylist Chrissy Rasmussen (creator of this method) to master her technique.
I’ve been wearing my extensions for almost a month now and I will continue to get them touched up by Jordan this year!
Tia, the owner of the salon, is also absolutely amazing! She is one of the most welcoming, friendly people I have ever met! She also does some killer makeup on people! Wedding season here i come — as a bridesmaid or guest, of course! She will be my go-to.
This full service salon will be my go-to for hair extensions, color, eyebrow microblading, and more (and I am traveling all the way from West Chester to Allentown, PA — almost an hour and a half away)!
Highly recommend checking them out!
Meraki is the place to go to get glam for your wedding or just a night out! Tia has been doing my makeup for years and always knows exactly what I want! The girls at Meraki had my ...
friends and family looking absolutely STUNNING on my wedding day! They make the morning so fun our makeup lasted the entire night! I highly recommend them to everyone!
Meraki was amazing!! They showed up early and energetic. They were quick in the process of applying the makeup and doing hair on a total of ELEVEN women. Everyone looked stunning, ...
so stunning that my venue added Meraki to their preferred vendor list. Meraki is an outstanding vendor and I could not be more satisfied with using them on my wedding day. I felt like I was the most beautiful bride, and the best part... the hair and makeup lasted through a windy day, dancing all night and hugging all my wedding guests/ husband. Hands down the best glam squad on this side of Texas!
My wedding photographer, Nina Lily Photography, recommended Tia at Meraki Beauty to be my wedding-day partner. Tia was great. She was super responsive throughout the whole process....
I did my makeup trial with her and she put me in touch with Erica Horn for my hair trial. I loved both looks and was excited for wedding day. There was another bride who had requested Tia's services first, so Tia put me in touch with Candice for my makeup. I did another makeup trial and really liked Candice, too.
On wedding day Candice and Erica were both on time and super friendly. They made each of the bridal party look beautiful and I felt like the most gorgeous version of myself all day. I would 100% recommend working with Meraki, they're fantastic!
I love Meraki Beauty! The ladies there are so much fun, and the makeup and hair for our wedding came out absolutely stunning. The atmosphere in the salon is so relaxed and beautifu...
l. Tia was a dream to work with and so nice about everything. I'm also now going there regularly to get my hair styled, Erica is AMAZING. I am so happy I chose Meraki for our wedding and I highly recommend them to everyone!!

h. They make you feel special; they make you feel comfortable; and they make you look beautiful! Book them :)
Where do I begin? I haven't had my make up professional done since prom in '06. One of my bridesmaid recommended Tia and her team and I couldn't say no. She and her girls looked fl...
awless on her wedding day. I met Tia for my trial and was quite nervous. Yet, that emotion quickly went away as she was so professional and very kind. It felt like I was talking to a friend who I've known for a long time. Tia also recommended products for me to help with my dryness to become wedding day ready - which I still use to this day!
On the day of my wedding, Tia and Melissa traveled 1.5 hours and were early! They set up with in a matter of minutes and beautified 8 women. All of my girls, including both moms, looked absolutely stunning. They were so incredibly impressed with their makeup. So impressed that my sister booked Tia and her team for her New Jersey wedding this October.
I wanted a natural look for my wedding. I wanted to look like myself but better. Tia achieved this look beyond my expectations. It brought tears to my eyes and my husband's. I am so appreciative of Tia and her team's professionalism, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. I never had to worry or stress about my makeup or my bridal party's makeup during the wedding planning.
For any of my makeup needs, Tia is my girl. I recently saw her for our Christmas pictures and once again, my makeup was stunning. Thank you again girls!
I have had the pleasure of working with Tia on my wedding day. She is truly an amazing artist. Not only is she great at her trade but she is truly the best person to be around. Tia...
is so full of life and energy. She never overdoes anything, but simply accents and displays your true beauty. I am so lucky to call this lady a friend! The proof is in the photos ladies and gents, that’s no photo shop, I can attest to that!
The best in the industry! No other makeup artists in the area can compete with Tia and her teams artistry skills. I have had the pleasure of knowing Tia since 2014 when I was on th...
e hunt for my wedding makeup. Since then, I can't keep track anymore how many times Tia has done my makeup!! I refuse to have anyone else do my makeup because I am so spoiled by her talent! From my wedding, family pictures, my maternity shoot and more, Tia finds the time to always play a big role in my families special moments. I have referred so many friends to her, and all of them fell in love with her talent & who she is as a person! Brides...do yourself a huge favor and spot looking for a makeup artist for your big day...Tia and her team are right here!
I had the pleasure of having Meraki owner and lead makeup artist Tia do my makeup for a styled bridal shoot with Nina Lilly Photography. She is not a one size fits all artist. She ...
truly is master at what she does. She knows how to adapt her work to highlight your features and use the tones that work best for your face. My makeup was flawless, I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life!!!! She applied the makeup that morning and our shoot wasn’t until 5pm!! When I returned home late that night my makeup was still perfect and in place after being outside shooting all night and even with my husbands beard rubbing against it! I didn’t even want to wash my face that night because it still looked so amazing. I would recommend Tia and Meraki 1000x over. She is also so warm and friendly and makes you feel so comfortable ( I usually don’t like people touching my face) You need to see her and experience her art for yourself! Thank you Tia!!!
5 Stars is not enough to describe the amazing job that the artists from Meraki do! I wouldn’t let anyone else do my make-up for my special occasions. I have recommended them to all...
my friends and family for their weddings and the results are always amazing. Whenever Tia does my make-up the results are always flawless and glowing. Her work is amazing in person and in photographs. This team is so efficient with big bridal parties and always on time. They are very educated in many different types of make-up styles and can achieve any look asked of them. When it comes time for me to get married my choice for make-up artists will obviously be Tia and her Meraki team. Can’t say enough good things about them!
I had the pleasure of having Tia (owner) do mine and my mother’s makeup on my wedding day! She was absolutely fantastic! We both had two different concerns which she targeted per...
fectly!! My experience with her is always effortless. She has such a passion for making you look amazing!!! She made sure I felt comfortable with everything she was doing! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Tia and her team at Meraki Beauty for all your beauty needs!!!
I had the pleasure of having Tia (the owner) do my make-up for my wedding day. I could not have been happier! She is extremely talented and takes great pride in her work- you will ...
have a look that is nothing short of perfection! In addition, she is very professional, knowledgeable, and has the most contagious personality that will having you wanting to hire her and her company for all your beauty needs. She has many years of experience and the ability to provide an amazing atmosphere during her services for any special occasion. I will never forget how beautiful she made me look and feel on my wedding day and look forward to booking her and her team in the future!
When I was planning my wedding, I had a difficult time finding an artist who had the experience applying make up to my Asian eyes. Thankfully, I was referred to Tia by a friend. I...
was so impressed with Tia’s professionalism but also her passion for making people feel and look beautiful. She was able to highlight my individual features. Even the photographer commented on how flawless my make up looked in person and how incredible it looked in the photos. I come to Tia for all my make up needs and would recommend her and her team to anyone who wants to look and feel amazing.
I highly recommend using Tia and her team for any type of makeup needs! They are truly the best!!! Tia did my makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding and I couldn’t have partner...
ed with a more amazing person and artist! Her and her team are so friendly and will go over the top for whatever you need! I can’t wait for another reason to get my makeup done to use them again! :)
Tia and her team at Meraki are AMAZING!!! They have taken care of not only the beauty needs for my wedding but for multiple family members weddings this past year and each time jus...
t blew everyone away with their talent, skill, and professionalism. Tia especially is awesome to work with she is a honest and trustworthy person which any soon-to-be bride knows is clutch to have in your corner to help decrease the stress of the planning and coordinating of beautifying the bridal party especially when you have almost 20 ppl to complete. I highly recommend them!
Tia is hands down the best, THE best! Her artistry is beyond the industry standard and her warm and funny personality make for a wonderfully calming and fun experience! She has bee...
n my, “go to” for family photos, milestones and special events for years now. Not only will you be a forever client but a friend. She truly loves her clients and strives to make their natural beauty shine, while walking the line between cutting edge and classic beauty. My girlfriend and I joke that EVERYONE uses Tia and Meraki but it’s no wonder why, there is no one else consistently turing out beautiful girls like their team.
Tia (owner) is an absolute gem along with the rest of her team at Meraki. I was the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding and was recommended to Tia through past clients. The b...
ride lives in Florida so I organized a lot of the details of the wedding for her, and Tia's flexibility and willingness to help exceeded every expectation. Her talent is unmatched and her warm personality makes you feel as though you have known her for a lifetime. Having 7 girls in the bridal party, as well as the bride and her mother is not an easy undertaking. Tia and her team ensured the entire experience was effortless, efficient, and of course made us all look amazing! Even a few months later, the bridal party is still receiving compliments on our makeup and hair! I will recommend Meraki to everyone I know and will absolutely be back for future occasions!
Tia (owner) and the ladies of Meraki are absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. I was recommended to Meraki for a makeup application for a wedding I was attending, and that experience al...
one was enough to solidify Meraki for all my beauty needs for the most important day of my life, my own wedding (and all wedding related events.) Aside from the artists being oh-so-incredibly-talented, they are all super personable and will do whatever... and I literally mean WHATEVER it takes (even if that may be a 3:30am house call) to make you look and feel like a rockstar. Dependable, talented, and personable... call that a win in my book! Wedding planning is stressful enough as it is, and I could not be more confident in my decision of booking Meraki for all my beauty needs! Thanks again ladies <3
